Personaly, I wouldn't get anything lighter then the 12.5lbs flywheel (I run the ACT 12.5lbs). Sometimes I wish I just kept mine stock. On a turbo car where having enough power really isn't an issue it is nice to have the extra inertia of the heavier flywheel inbetween shifts and for a more streetable idle. Just my .02 cents others may feel differently.

x2 idk why people seem to over look that.

your car is turbo'd you want the extra spinning mass to help keep things going inbetween shifts. Also you should try to pick a flywheel according to where you want to more your torque line. lighter flywheel = more low end...... heavier flywheel = closer to top end
